National data protection authorities can conduct investigations and impose penalties where necessary.

  • Each national data protection authority and the European Data Protection Supervisor  (EDPS)

For day-to-day operations, the work of the EDPB receives analytical, administrative and logistical support from a secretariat provided by the EDPS. The members of the staff of the EDPB Secretariat are working under the instructions of the Chair of the EDPB.
